I don’t know why everyone suddenly has amnesia about the fact that #CNN was bought by a conservative asshole & is just hoping you won’t notice long enough to radicalize you based on the network’s former reputation, inertia, & brand loyalty.Nothing like #Twitter, of course.

@catvalente I don’t have amnesia, I was hoping it wouldn’t be so bad. But tonight, I am done with CNN. I purposely didn’t watch; the reporting on it is vile enough. I’m so mad that not only am I done with CNN, I want to actively punish it! And, I’m cutting my Verizon FIOS TV subscription too!#FuckJohnMalone #FuckChrisLicht #FuckDavidZaslav #FuckCNN #FuckVerizon

@catvalente Can you tell me who owns CNN now? Which corporation or entity?

@catvalente even before that purchase, it was led by tfg’s former Apprentice producer. It has been always supine to him. I recall reading stories about empty podiums on camera, waiting for HIS appearance. Hardly any Hillary rallies were broadcasted. CNN hired tfg’s former campaign manager as a commentator. During the campaign.

@catvalente I haven't watched CNN since shortly after Biden's inauguration...but before that they always had the NYT's Maggie Haberman (TFG-sympathiser) on their morning show non-stop and they gave TFG so much air-time before and during his presidency.Remember that Zucker was friends with TFG from his days at NBC and The Apprentice, and it showed!Now I can only assume it is much, much worse....

@catvalente Also, Americans please be aware: the #BBC, formerly known for its independence, is now largely a mouthpiece of the #Conservative government. Sport and Entertainment mostly untouched, but News heavily polluted, and Current Affairs under a #Brexit and #No.10 muzzle. Panels contain a far-right puppet "for balance" even when none is needed. Serious #journalists are still there, but struggling to report fairly, knowing that their job is on the line if they put a foot wrong.

@DemocracyMattersALot @catvalente Good! I gave up cable, satellite decades ago. Between broadcast (with a $3 antenna) Netflix and Mastodon, I have all the news and entertainment I can ever want.

@DemocracyMattersALot @catvalente This is the way. Most of what we pay for in media is through subscriptions to platforms. Cable providers basically fund Fox network.

@Piousunyn @DemocracyMattersALot @catvalente I don’t think it’s them anymore. Some transaction took place and our cable is now Spectrum. But someone savvier than me (they might be Giants?) should check. They really erased the GOP primary!

@stingray @polarisera @catvalente I know people are mad about a town hall. Are they mad about it for reasons other than that trump was talking?CNN is kind of like the WWE of news anyway.

@GalacticTurtle @polarisera @catvalente Most of it was typical Trump antics but I think the part that particularly pissed everybody off is that he was cracking jokes about Jean Carroll.

@stingray @polarisera @catvalente I'll chalk all the buzz regarding the town hall up to people liking to be upset then. XDI just hope coverage for people other than Trump happens. Every network knows he drives the viewership up though so... rinse and repeat.

@GalacticTurtle @stingray @catvalente Trump causes status anxiety among the over-educated morons that think the world can be run by censorship, obedience and tribal chanting.
